Godswater Filtration

Godswater filtration is a process in which godswater is converted into freshwater.

Discovery
The godswater filtration system was discovered in an act of desperation by the city of Steelwater. Steelwater is located in the relatively barren northeast and in the year Oe1203 a drought took hold of their land. Efforts to purify godswater for drinking and farming were well underway, but aggressive developments started during the long drought. Steelwater engineers devloped a massive, complex and ornate design, called a Labyrinth Filter out of metal and stone. Feeding thousands of gallons through this design which was heated by wood burning furnaces developed enough freshwater to make it seem worth it.

Initial System
The initial filtration system was complex and extremely expensive. The Labyrinth Filter design took up the space of several small buildings and could only produce 2-300 liters of water per hour, hardly enough to sustain an entire city. But the design worked and spread through the major cities along the Blue Sea.

2nd Discovery
In OE578 Reedus Underman discovered Bleu Shine. The process in making Bleu Shine was inadvertently responsible for improving on the godswater filtration system of the time. The separation of the liquid from the crystals revealed finally that twice distilled godswater was safe enough to ingest. The old system of filtration had inadvertently discovered this, but the design was too gaudy and over-engineered to discover what the actual effect was.

Modern Techniques
There are a variety of double distillation systems available to modern Eyrsans and Ferals alike. The use of these systems is widespread and the simplest of them can be afforded by even the poor.
